I'm slightly confused, what is the use case for this? It says "no npm, babel, etc" but then it goes and downloads the packages for you.

Lots of places are Java™ shops, and adding new shiny stuff from the NodeJS ecosystem for frontend work can be difficult. I couple years ago I had to build a weird multi-step build bridge between babel and the Grails asset pipeline. A pure JVM implementation would probably make this sort of thing less painful for a lot of companies.

Ah ok, so this makes it easier to integrate react into the view layer for a traditional java mvc application is that right?

It's not only npm, its also jsx transpilation, bundling (incl. a shim of npm, es6 imports and html-imports) and java-javascript interfacing.

It is "npmless" ;-)

ah! the memories of when I ran ember on rhino within a servlet container. fun thing was that some javascript reserved words are allowed in node and widely used. had to write a nodejs to vanillajs converter.

Oracle plans to replace Nashorn with V8 due to lack of manpower.

Check this year's Java Languages Summit.

What? Where did they say that in that talk? They simply showed a way to execute native code with V8, so it's easier to run node on nashorn. Stop spreading misinformation.

You can use J2V8 to use V8 for now too:

I prefer it's very cut and dry boundaries between Java and JS to Nashorn which tries to help by bridging Java into JS (but complicates both in the process)

Nice, but it seems like a cut-down version of frontend-maven-plugin: https://github.com/eirslett/frontend-maven-plugin

moru0011OP8y ago

Nope. mvn still reuqires a native node install. In addition it does not provide JSX rendering import shims and bundling

I love the

mvn clean package

just after

git clone

This immediately tells me of his attention to make builds reproducible.

edit: formatting

npm is indeterministic, as I have to mimic its implementation, JNMP isn't deterministic also (but I could make it so, good point)

Can it be used with sparkjava, pippo, or springfw?

moru0011OP8y ago

nope its currently bound to kontraktor actors.
